Welcome to Summer Fun at the NSU Alvin Sherman Library. We're launching this summer with an Out of this World Dance Party! Bring your little ones to the NSU Library and meet Pete the Cat and Elephant & Piggy. There will be facepainting and entertainment by the Fantasy Theatre Factory. Plus, sign your child up as well as you for our summer reading program and win prizes just for reading!
Teens and adults can also join in on the fun with lots of unique programs. Jazz in the Gallery returns as does some incredible adult and teen writing programs. We've also created a 6 week genealogy program to help you explore your family history.
From best sellers to travel guides, make sure you keep your Alvin Sherman Library card handy, all summer long! For more information on programming and events, visit: lib.nova.edu/summer .
